blues, rhythm & blues:Begins a new chapter for Larry as he continues to create music in a voice that has become uniquely his own but at the same time draws directly from the immensely rich American Music Tradition that songwriters and musicians the world over invariably turn to for inspiration. He has had the opportunity to work with Bo Diddley, Eddie Money, Steve Cropper, Big Joe Turner, Mary Wells and Sir Mac Rice (the man that penned "Mustang Sally" and "Respect Yourself"). "A rootsy affair that touches on blues, Tex-Mex, and jazz, former Dynatones' guitarist Dunn delivers wonderfully tailored tunes that manage to highlight his ultra-hip, yet ultra-musical guitar playing. His bluesy, organic phrasing deftly mixes in slick modal flavorings (from Santana to Robben Ford), and his ability to outline a tangy, twisting chord progression- on the album's title track for instance- without going into chromatic la-la land is a real treat, as are his velvety octave licks. Dunn leans on spanky, mildly overdriven single-coil tones for the most part, but the album's last three cuts feature Dunn's formidable acoustic chops. Good tunes and killer playing. What's not to like." -Darrin Fox, Guitar Player Magazine, 4/08

swing, jazz, blues, rhythm & blues:This Johnny Nocturne CD is unique in that it features all three vocalist that have worked with the band over the years. All the tracks are previously unreleased. Brenda Boykin performs a beautiful rendition of "When Did You Leave Heaven," Kim Nalley is her usual sassy self with "That Cat's Evil," and Ms. Dee comes on with a bluesy take on "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You." Firmin and the band continue with the unique mix of jump blues, small band swing, soul and jazz. "Good to the Damn Bone," is the first tenor sax, B-3 instrumental feature by the band. Firmin and Henry Salvia swing through this classic Willis Jackson blues head. This CD is a good introduction to this band if you haven't heard them yet. And a must addition to any previous Nocturne CDs.The Johnny Nocturne Band on these recordings is John Firmin / Johnny Nocturne: tenor sax and leaser; Henry Salvia: piano and organ; Alex Baum: bass; Anthony Paule: guitar; Keny Bryson and Terry Baker: drums; Marty Wehner and Derek James: trombone; Rob Sudduth, Marlo Green and Danny Bittker: baritone sax; Pete Sembler and Bill Ortiz: trumpet; band and Kurt Pasch: background shouts.Produced by John Firmin with Alex Baum and David Luke.Graphics by Mitsuko Baum.

blues, rhythm & blues:When you go into the studio with a dozen new songs you never know how it's going to turn out. But if you've got the right musicians on the date you can be sure to get the most out of the material you're tracking and that was the case with this CD ... the fellas came to play ... skilled musicians who handled the various styles on this disc with ease. I was also blessed in having a great engineer commit the music to tape, do all the mixing and advise me throughout. In fact, without exception everyone involved in each stage of this project did a wonderful job ... that's what happens when you work with pros. My thanks to all of you.

Burr: Piano - Scott Lawrence (cuts 5, 6, 7), B-3 Organ - Tony Stead, Tenor & Alto Saxes - Jeff Ervin, Baritone Sax - Danny Bittker, Trumpet -Jeff Lewis, Synth Guitar - Garth Webber (cut 8).

blues:Anthony Paule's second release on Blue Dot Records. This is a thoughtful collection of ten songs, 8 originals, all tastefully written, arranged, and performed. Rather than use an electric bass for this recording, Paule implemented the distinct bass of a Hammond B-3 organ. In a market glutted with hybrid blues artists, Anthony Paule's dependable style and his latest release Hiding In Plain Sight are a welcome change...and that's a good thing.

blues, rhythm & blues:"The four musicians who comprise Home Cookin' - vocalist, Brenda Boykin; guitarist, Anthony Paule; bassist, Tim Wagar; and drummer, Tyler Eng - treat songs and styles as if they are items on some mammoth all-you-can-eat buffet, mixing them in their minds and serving them to their audience in a deep salad bowl of musical Americana that is uniquely their own. The results are seldom short of delicious. 'Afrobilly Soul Stew' is the second release from this popular Bay Area group." -Lee Hildebrand - Oakland, California - March 2000.
